I don't have it. I also don't speak Arabic, but... I happen to recognise the refrain of the song (LA ILLAHE ILALLAH). It is from Koran and it means: "There is no other lord worth worshipping than God" ("Allah" meaning "God" in Arabic).

I am far from fluent in Arabic, so I may be off, but from listening, this is what I made of the lyrics (which do indeed include 'La illaha illah Allah')

My best guess:

I am travelling on the road to paradise
I am travelling on the road to love
I am travelling on the road to paradise
Where the light of truth is in this world
There is no god but God (Allah)

Where the light of truth is in this world
Where the love of *piety is welcome
I am travelling on the road to paradise
Oh, you and we, to paradise
There is no god but God (Allah)
There is no god but God (Allah)
Oh, my heart

I am travelling on the road to Paradise
I am travelling on the road to Love
Yes, my love

* the word used here, I think, is actually 'haya' which means 'modesty', but in the religious sense.

Can you tell me the Arabic text so that I may sing this song when I listen to it? Thanks 4 the trans.

the translation is true... piety is the rank of "iman" (religious beliefe) I think... "La ilaha illallah" means "There's no god but Allah"
you may here over the media... I want to give some of the meanings for you... As a muslim I see this as my duty..

"Allah-u Akbar" = "Allah (god) is the greatest (allmighty)"

"Bismillahi- Rahman el Rahim" = "In the name of the most mercifull, the protector"

"Eudhu billahi min al-sheytan ýr-rajim" = "God protect us from sheytan's (satan - devil-iblis) badness

"El hamdu lillah" = "Hamd(thanks) to God"

Note: Islam is the religion of civilization... We believe in christianity or Judaism... They were too sent from Allah to Jesus and Moses... But they were changed by some people that Allah cursed...

Today there are several different bible's but there is only one Qor'an... Wich is untouched, wich is truly holy...

There are several prophet's in the holy Qor'an that are also in the bible (injil) and tewrat(jewish holy book)...

Adem (Adam) - Yakub (Jacob) - Yusuf (Joseph) - Musa (Moses) - Isa (Jesus) -
Bunyamin (Benjamin) - Harun (Aaron) - Ishak (Isaac) - Ismail (Ishmael) - Ibrahim (Abraham) - Zekeriya (Zacarias) - Davud (David) - Souleyman (Solomon) - these are the ones I could remember...

the last prophet is Muhammed (sallallahu aleyhi wesellem) Jesus himself said that there is goingto be one last prophet after him... and he called him ahmed...
prophet Muhammed's full name is "Muhammed Ahmed Mahmud Mustafa"

Just search it, read the holy Qor'an Al Kerim's translations...

There are many things that weren't discovered or recognised in that age...

Know that the holy Qor'an was sent by Allah-u Teala around the year 600 AD... when europeans thought that the world was flat!!...

But in the same age Allah said in his holy book "we created planets and we made them swim in an exact rout"...
Just look in the holy Qor'an it is written in the *soura - Er Rahman*...

Just check it out.. It's cool and amazing!!!

I think everything is clear... read the Qor'an... read the bible... and compare them... And remember that there are lots of bibles but there is only one Qor'an al Kerim...

Muhammed from Istanbul/Turkey

Ok but could someone please post the original lyrics... please please

It's hard to understand other dialects (in this case egyptian, cause Natasha Atlas is Egyptian) when you're middle-eastern from the gulf. I did my best but i'm not very sure.

I'll right in arabic phonetic between [brackets] cause i don't have arabic keyboard.
Some rules (cause there are more arabic letters than in latin, 28 letters, 3 vowels and 25 consonants) however:
- shadda (insistance) on a consonant will make that consonant repeated twice, long vowels will be repeated twice.
2 = ء = like 2alif (alif)
ع = 3 = like eye in arabic, 3ein
3' = غ = like cloud in arabic, 3eim
6 = Ø· = like duck in arabic, ba66a
6' = ظ = like luck in arabic, 7a6'
7 = Ø­ = like life in arabic, 7ayaat
7' = Ø® = like automn in arabic, 7'ariif
8 = Ù‚ = like iraq in arabic, 3iraa8
9 = ص = like friend (male) in arabic, 9adi8
9' = ض = like to put in arabic, wa9'a3a

[We 2anaa bu2min be-mamlakt il-jannaa]
And i believe in the kingdom of heaven
[We 2anaa bu2min be-mamlakt il-7ub]
And i believe in the kingdom of love
[We 2anaa bu2min be-mamlakt il-jannaa]
And i believe in the kingdom of heaven
[We in-naar il-7ayaat hiya il-duniaa]
And in the fire of life is the world (can be understood light of life)
[La 2ilaha 2illa 2allah]
There is no deity other than Allah

[We il-noor il-7ayaat ye9'aa2 fi il-dunia]
And the light of life light up in the world
[We 7ab il-hawa hiya a7laaha] (not sure about this one )
And the seeds of wind is the most beautiful of it
[We 2anaa bu2min be-mamlakt il-janna]
And i believe in the kingdom of heaven
[We 2e7na be-re7la lil-janna]
And we are on the trip to heaven
[La 2ilaha 2illa 2allah]
There is no deity other than Allah

[La 2ilaha 2illa 2allah]
There is no deity other than Allah

[We 2anaa bu2min be-mamlakt il-jannaa]
And i believe in the kingdom of heaven
[We 2anaa bu2min be-mamlakt il-7ub]
And i believe in the kingdom of love
[Ya 7abibii]
My dear

it's not fire of life it's light of life... it's not naar el hayat it's noor el hayat... even in the original name of the soundtrack it's written "light of life" the rest of the translation is correct

Muhammed - Istanbul/Turkey

First of all, natacha atlas is not egyptian, her father is from Moroco, and her mom from England, but she sings in egyptian.. in some songs, even for an Egyptian its difficult to understand what she say..

> The last line in the translation as "My Dear" is literally correct, the emotional semantic, however, is close to in English common usage "My Baby/My Love"

The Arabic Ha'bi'bi is synonymous with the Hebrew Ha'vi'vi - In that it is a term of endearment similar to the Italian Mi'amo or as mentioned above the English Honey/Baby

Assalamu alaykum everybody, hi!

Below my attempt to write down the lyrics. Note: Natacha sings in Egyptian Arabic dialect, which renders some words different from Modern Standard Arabic. Please correct me where I'm wrong in the lyrics below..

Enjoy,

Wassalam Danielle

To you who posted the original lyrics. Clearly, those who wants the lyrics, cant speak arabic, so the rules you wrote is not understandable for those who dont have any knowledge about the arabic language, or even a little knowledge. its an easier way to separate the special arabic letter.
like this

a, b, t, th, j, H, kh, d, dh, r, z, S,D, T, DH, 3ayn, gh, f, q, k, l, m, n, h, w, y
im not sure if this is in right order, or if i forgot.

and also a, aa, i, ii, u, uu

the hamza,glottal stop, can just be written like '

and for those who dont have any knowledge of arabic, please at least learn the pronounciation in arabic before singing anything. not knowing the right way to say things, is not good, because it might mean something else

Hey -

the line you're not sure of, I believe translates more clearly as "And Eve lived due to her love of Allah" (as in her faith in Allah).

you can't say that "there are many Bible and only one Coran"
you don't have respect for people who aren't muslim ! In the Bible there are 4 text about the holy words of Jesus Christ told by his apostles and the low sent by god and many other things...and the christian believe in it. you can't compare Bible and Coran,it's too much diferent. and without being malicious, you can't criticize because, you (the muslim) believe that that God went down on earth to pray to Mohammet when he died (told by aboubaker) and in the coran it's written that God is too noble to have a child ( Jesus )it's very bizar! don't you find ? SO you and me believe in Allah ( llah ilaha ila llah ) IT'S ALL ! the most important ! and we owe stop to criticize the other people who believe in Moses, Jesus and Mohammet and live together! because we are all in the story of Allah. salam

Hi, does anyone know the lyrics in original arabic form?
